Low-Dose jaw scans put to the test: will they miss the nerve?

NCT ID NCT07442474

First seen Mar 03, 2026 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 12 times

Summary

This study looked at whether using a lower radiation dose for a special dental X-ray (CBCT) still shows the jaw's main nerve canal as clearly as the standard dose. Twenty adults with healthy jaws were scanned with both doses, and the images were compared. The goal was to see if we can reduce radiation exposure without losing important details for dental surgery planning.
